F1 hopeful Emma Kimilainen has broken her silence, saying she once quit racing after her team told her to pose topless for a magazine.
The 31-year-old took four years away from the sport in 2009 but has since returned to become a star in the all-female W Series.
Now she's spoken for the first time about what almost pushed her away from the sport entirely.
Kimilainen revealed her team had secured her a sponsor for the 2010 season, but it quickly turned sour after she found out the sponsor was a "high-end men's magazine".
Speaking on the Shikaani Formula 1 Podcast, she admitted she walked away after being told her signing depended on her posing topless.
